Topic:

Swarming by nature and by design

Description:

Abstract
The cohesive movement of a biological population is a commonly observed
natural phenomenon. With the advent of platforms of unmanned vehicles,
such phenomena have attracted a renewed interest from the engineering
community. This talk will cover a survey of the speaker's research and
related work in this area ranging from aggregation models in nonlinear
partial differential equations to control algorithms and robotic testbed
experiments. We conclude with a discussion of some interesting problems
for the applied mathematics community.
